Plantar Warts (Verruca Plantaris)
Back to: Foot Problems & Conditions

Verruca Plantaris commonly referred to as warts, are growths that develop on the bottom of the feet (the plantar) due to a contagious virus called Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Warts can be flesh coloured or dark, rough or smooth, can grow singly or in groups, often termed as "mosaic warts".


Verruca plantaris (plantar warts)

Walking on warts can be painful like a stone in the shoe. When standing and walking the warts begin to flatten making them more difficult to treat because the majority of the wart has been pushed deeper under the skin.




Causes

Warts are caused by a contagious virus so it is important that they are treated effectively to prevent re-infection or the possibility of passing the infection to others.




Prevention & treatment

  • Keep feet dry as warts thrive in moist conditions

  • Wear comfortable shoes to lessen pressure on the wart



Podiatrists/Chiropodists may use following treatments:

  • Salicylic acid plasters

  • Laser surgery

  • Electro surgery

  • Cutting

  • Freezing Methods
